Cat got your tongue? Penny for your thoughts? Come again? Every day, idioms bring color to our speech. Since they don´t really mean what they say, idioms can stump even the native English-speaker. Marvin Terban makes understanding idioms "as easy aspie" with the revised SCHOLASTIC DICTIONARY OF IDIOMS. Explanations for, and origins of, more than 700 everyday American idioms, complete with kid-friendly sample sentences. The entries are amusing as well as educational. Alphabetical listing and cross-referencing index makes finding idioms a "piece of cake."
